Chapter One - The Hyuuga
Massacre

Itachi Hyuuga was the
young genius of Konoha. At only the age of thirteen he was already an
ANBU captain and was an expert in even the most difficult of his
clan's techniques. He was next in line to be head of the clan after
his father Hiashi died and was in the main branch. He had two little
sisters, the oldest one was named Hinata, she was six and already had
a curse seal on her forehead, which she hid constantly behind a long
white ribbon that was tied into a bow behind her head. His second
sister Hanabi was an up-and-coming genius who embarrassingly enough
for Hinata could already fight on even grounds with her, though she
was only two years old.

Hinata had a kind heart.
She loved her father, older brother, little sister, animals of all
sorts and especially a little loud orphan boy named Naruto who she
constantly saw running around, causing trouble whenever she ventured
out of her clan's home. She admired the boy. He was bold, brash, rude
to adults and most of all a free spirit. He barely glanced at her the
few times they crossed paths though. The only person she would talk
to about her feelings and life's ups and downs was Itachi. She loved
his listening ear the most about him. Though her older brother was
serious, frigid and sometimes condemning she could always count on
him to listen when she got around to speaking to him. Hinata adored
Itachi.

Itachi however hated his
family. In his own power he had secretly surpassed the Hyuuga power
by developing a 360 degree ranged 'Sharingan' (three silvery-blue
comma's amidst the usual pale lavender of the Hyuuga) when he was
only ten years old. His partner Shishu Uchiha gave him plenty
information about how to use the Sharingan thanks to his endless
bragging. The Hyuuga clan was weak. His clan was weak. The main
branch clung to enslaving their own family to keep the feeling of
being powerful in their weak minds and the branch family was worse.
They were weak and did nothing to stop the oppression of their own
lives from happening. If all the branch members took a stand they
wouldn't have to be the lap dogs of the main.

So when the Akatsuki
offered him a position in exchange for the mere severing of his
family's lives he gladly took up the offer. And he knew exactly how
to work out his strategy of destruction as well. If his plan worked
his weak little sister might finally grow a backbone too.

The plan was executed
perfectly. It was an early winter evening on Hintata's birthday and
everyone in the clan was in the main courtyard. For it wasn't a
joyous celebration but the final strike at the neck for today was the
day Hinata would be assigned to be someones guard. It likely would
have been Itachi's younger cousin Hanaisu who was a three-year-old
brat with no sense of self-protection. Itachi made a move as he stood
to his feet and pretended to call for a toast, drawing the attention
of everyone to his rather small thirteen-year-old frame.

"I would like to let
you all know that you are all disgusting sniveling rats and will make
a lovely bunch of carcasses once I'm through with you all." He
activated his Sharingan-Byakugan and proceeded to mercilessly
slaughter his clan as his tiny sister sat, watching in horror being
the only one left out of the rather strong genjutsu, those strong
enough to fight of the genjutsu found themselves cut into pieces
thanks to Itachi's speed with his blade however. Finally as he stared
coldly at his quivering sister he stoically spoke, "You are weak
Hinata. I am removing the seal on your forehead and have decided not
to kill you today because you are not worth the blood. Hate me little
sister, cling to revenge and perhaps one day you will be able to
amount to half of what I am. I will kill you when you come for me."

And with that he
disappeared in a swirl of leafs and vanished into the night. It
wouldn't be until the next day that a Jounin found Hinata sitting
silently and motionlessly surrounded by the bodies of her family
members.

"Will she be okay?"
the medic treating Hinata looked over at the trainee beside her who
looked worridly into Hinata's emotionless face, "She wasn't hurt
by him physicaly I know but how will her mind cope with watever she
witnessed yesterday?"

The medic huffed and said,
"Like any ninja would. It's her duty to avenge her slaughtered
family. The Uchiha's will be trying to kill him for stealing their
bloodline but she will be the one to deliver the finishing blow."

"The poor girl. The
path of an avenger is hard indeed. I hope when she kills him she does
it painfully."

Silently the girl listened
to the two talk, 'I have to kill Niisan? But
why? He's the last family besides me. I don't want to be the last. He
killed everyone...tousan...Hanabi-chan...but...I don't want to kill
Niisan. I don't want to hate Itachi-niisan. I love niisan even though
he hates me. Why can't I hate him? Am I really so weak that I can't
hate the brother who killed my whole family? What do I do?'

For the first time since
the massacre Hinata cried, not from fear, loathing or hoplessness but
for the loss of her family and the fact that even her own kind heart
did not win the love of her nii-san. 'I-I'll
try harder. Niisan is alone in the world now like me and even though
he hates me...he needs me...'
